Proposed Project 

Well-Integrated Screening and 

Evaluation for Women Across the 

Nation (WISEWOMAN) Reporting 

System (OMB #0920–0612, exp. 1/31/ 

2014)—Revision—National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The WISEWOMAN program (WellIntegrated Screening and Evaluation for 

Women Across the Nation), 

administered by the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC), was 

established to examine ways to improve 

the delivery of services for women who 

have limited access to health care and 

elevated risk factors for cardio vascular 

disease (CVD). The program focuses on 

reducing CVD risk factors and provides 

screening services for selected risk 

factors such as elevated blood 

cholesterol, hypertension, and abnormal 

blood glucose levels. The program also 

provides women with referrals to 

lifestyle programs and medical care. The 

WISEWOMAN program currently 

provides services to approximately 

45,000 women who are jointly enrolled 

in the National Breast and Cervical 

Cancer Early Detection Program 

(NBCCEDP), also administered by CDC. 

CDC collects information from 

WISEWOMAN awardees through the 

‘‘WISEWOMAN Reporting System’’ 

(OMB No. 0920–0612, exp. 1/31/2014). 

New WISEWOMAN cooperative 

eements were awarded in 2013 and 

C seeks to continue information 

lection for three years, with 

isions. The new funding period will 

lect an increased emphasis on 

cient oversight of program awardees 

d documenting program outcomes. As 

esult, the WISEWOMAN information 

lection will be revised to support 

dated program goals. Revisions to be 

plemented include a reduction in the 

quency of progress report 

submission—from twice per year to 

once per year—and changes to the 

content of the Minimum Data Element 

(MDE) submissions. This will result in 

an overall net decrease in respondent 

burden. The first reports based on the 

revised reporting requirements will be 

submitted to CDC in April 2014. 

The hardcopy progress report 

provides a narrative summary of each 

awardee’s objectives and the activities 

undertaken to meet program goals, 

including public education and 

outreach. The estimated burden per 

response is 16 hours. 

The MDE include information that 

describes risk factors for the women 

served in each program and the number 

and type of lifestyle program sessions 

they attend. MDE information has 

previously been submitted to CDC in 

two electronic transmissions. The 

burden for Screening and Assessment 

MDE was estimated at 16 hours per 

response and the burden for Lifestyle 

Program MDE was estimated at 8 hours 

per response. 

Upon OMB approval of the proposed 

Revision, the MDE will be submitted as 

a single electronic file with a combined 

estimated burden per response of 24 

hours. The total number of MDE 

variables will increase from 66 to 85. 

The number of variables relating to 

Lifestyle Programs will decrease and the 

number of variables relating to 

Screening and Assessment will increase. 

CDC will continue to use the 

information collected from 

WISEWOMAN awardees to support 

continuous program monitoring and 

improvement activities, evaluation, and 

assessment of program outcomes. The 

overall program evaluation is designed 

to demonstrate how WISEWOMAN can 

obtain more complete health data on 

vulnerable populations, promote public 

education about disease incidence, 

cardiovascular disease risk-factors, 

health promotion, to improve the 

availability of screening and diagnostic 

services for under-served women, 

ensure the quality of services provided 

to under-served women, and develop 

strategies for improved interventions. 

Participation in this information 

collection is required as a condition of 

cooperative agreement funding. There 

are no costs to respondents other than 

their time. 

The total annualized burden hours are 

1,344.
